Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 2 cups cranberry juice
- 1 cup orange juice
- 1 cup vodka
- 2 cups ice
- Fresh cranberries for garnish
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients: 2 cups of cranberry juice, 1 cup of orange juice, 1 cup of vodka, and 2 cups of ice. Additionally, have fresh cranberries on hand for garnish.
- In a blender, combine the cranberry juice, orange juice, and vodka. Make sure the lid is securely fastened to prevent any spills.
- Add the 2 cups of ice to the blender. This will help create the slushy texture that is characteristic of this drink.
- Blend the mixture on high speed until the ice is finely crushed and the mixture is smooth and slushy. This should take about 30 seconds to a minute, depending on your blender.
- Once blended, taste the slush and adjust the flavors if necessary. You can add more cranberry juice for sweetness or more vodka for a stronger kick, according to your preference.
- Pour the slush into four glasses, filling them about three-quarters full to allow room for garnish.
- For garnish, add a few fresh cranberries to each glass. You can also add a slice of orange on the rim for an extra touch of color and flavor.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your refreshing Cranberry Orange Vodka Slush!
